a friend of mine recently posted a story about visiting this house. It's a neat story. i don;t think he'd mind me reposting (with a few edits)
In 1988 at 15 yrs old me and Billy the guitar player in our band borrowed the car and told our parents we going to stay the night at so-and-so's. We procured two cases of Old Milwaukee and high-tailed it to Minneapolis. Keeping true to our hero worship (and our naivety) we drove around the Cities assuming we could easily spot the Let It Be roof.
Nearly a decade later after having moved said band to Mpls and being somewhat initiated into 'the scene' thereby meeting many of the iconic folk that had thus far only existed on record jackets, I found out precisely where this elusive roof was.
One afternoon my friends (and I) were driving around and I took them on a little sightseeing trip. We pulled up to this house...THE house...and two 20-somethings were outside and I shouted "Do you know where you live?"
Their reaction proved that we were far from their first encounter from nostalgic and over-zealous fans. They graciously invited us in and even offered to act as stand-ins so we could take the photo everyone secretly wanted to take. Ta-da!!!!
